Rural housing restrictions eased by county board
Ukiah and Sacramento officials spent years debating building code revisions that the Mendocino County board adopted to ease rural housing rules. Changes remove the 70 degree heating rule, skip mandatory wiring hooks ups, and allow non flush waste systems with health dept approval while shifting code violations from criminal penalties to civil abatement. The board also expanded the appeals panel from five to seven members with three public seats, amid protests from United Stand members.
